What do groynes do? Difference between attracting and repelling groynes, permeable and impermeable groynes.

Groynes & Spurs These are a hydraulic structure constructed transeverse to the direction of river flow and extend from the bank of the river to the width of river upto a certain limit. These are also called spurs. Groynes are suitable in guiding the river flow,promoting scour, depositing of sediment where desired and traping the sediment load to build up new river banks. spurs are suitable and hence more widely used in river training structures. Functions of groynes: You may be wondering that what do groynes do? How they work? And many more questions might be striking your mind. Here i will give you all your answers. These are used for training a river along a desired course by attracting,deflecting or repelling the flow in the river channel. Protection of river bank is done with the help of groynes by keeping the flow of water away from the bank. These are used to silt up the area in the vicinty of the spur by creati...

Tell me the basic difference between plate girders and gantry girders. Ans: plate girders :they are large beams which are used to transfer the transverse loads to the piers. They are used in bridges and flyovers. Gantry girder: These are also a type of beam, which are used to carry the heavy moving load of crane.

Name two multicellular organisms

Multicellular Organisms which have 2 or more cells are called multicellular organisms. Eg. Cat, dog, human beings, birds etc. Multicellular organisms reproduce more rapidly and form similar new cells. Unicellular organisms have only basic functions to do like breathing, eating and reproduction. Unicellular organisms are primitive in nature. Multicellular organisms have different types of cells to perform different functions. Multicellular organisms have immunity against Dieases. Multicellular organisms activities. Thanks for reading.

Compaction of soil, test for compaction & Factors affecting compaction

Hello my friends, welcome to iconicccivil. I being a civil engineer pass my knowledge to you and the society. Have a look on the process of Compaction in depth through this article. :COMPACTION: Compaction of soil is the process of increasing the unit weight of soil due to decrease in volume of air, volume of void hence volume of soil by forcing soil solids into denser state. It is done by mechanical means in order to decrease void ratio, permeability etc. and to increase denseness, unit weight, bearing capacity of soil etc. Compaction can be achieved by use of ROLLERS, RAMMERS and VIBERATORS etc. It is instantaneous process in which soil is always unsaturated( partially saturated) & dry. Compaction of soil is represented in terms of dry Unit Weight of soil(Yd). More the dry Unit Weight, denser will be the soil. :COMPACTION CHARACTERISTICS OF SOIL CAN BE ANALYSED IN LABORATORY BY PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING TEST: 1. STANDARD PROCTOR TEST: This test consists of...

10.Importance of time management and ways to achieve goals through time management.

It is one of the most important skill that everyone should know . Some people make it useful while other simply waste it. Importance of time management and ways to achieve goals through time management. Today i will make you feel the importance of time and its management. Time managment varies from person to person.Like some people like better to make a timetable for there dailyroutine to handle the time and a few people like better to believe executing the task as soon as they think of it. I personally feel that the second method works a far better way on behalf of me because once I consider some work to try ,i feel i should complete it as early as possible,this way you complete your task and there's ample time left for an additional work. Time managment necessarily doesnt mean making a dailyroutine,as long as you're proud of the work you're doing without wasting it ,you are good,but once you feel that you are just wasting time over thinking about your work and...

SOIL STRUCTURE, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SILT AND CLAY

Difference between silt and clay: Dispersion Test: Take a spoon of oven dried soil sample and mix in the glass of water. The soil settles early is silt and soil which takes more time is clay. Because : Size of silt is more than clay. Dilatency Test: Take a moist/wet sampe of soil and placed it over palm, if upon remoulding moisture appears over the surface of soil, it is silt otherwise clay. Because : Moisture holding...

How to calculate the return period of a flood?

Question: A residential area located near the Neebing River in Thunder Bay used to be flooded in 5 of the 20 years before the Thunder Bay Floodway became operational in 1983. What is the return period of this flood? What is the probability that the residential area will not be flooded next year? What is the probability that the residential area will be flooded at least once in the next 3 years? Answer: Return period of the flood is 4 years. Since it occurs 5 years in every 20 years. Return period is denoted by 'T' T = 4 Now , probability of the flood ,p = 1/T = 1/5 = 0.25 Now, probability that the residential area will not be flooded in the next year = q q = 1- p = 1-0.25 = 0.75 Again, the probability that the residential area will be flooded at least once in next 3 years = 1 - q^3 = 1 - 0.75 ^3 = 0.578 Hope you like the post.
